Tachometers...which will work on JDX8 CDI?

I should have all the parts for my CDI conversion this afternoon. The only thing I haven't dealt with yet is the tach. From what I understand, I need to switch from my 8,000rpm tach to one of the 10,000rpm tachs. Is this correct? If so, will any of the 10,000rpm tachs work, or do I need a specific o...

Re: Not many hits on the brake band thread...what about disks?

Well, my issue isn't so much price as it is value. A brake band just isn't worth $70.

Re: WTB: Prestolite CDI unit for KEC-440

Found one for a 76 JD 400, which I think will work. Should be all set now.

Disk brake conversion for JDX8 or similar? I haven't seen anything about anyone doing this yet. Have they?

Re: KEC-440/21 converting to CDI? I have searched...no luck.

One semi unrelated question while I have everyone's attention:

Where is the best place to get crank seals? Are those Winderosa kits any good?

Thanks again.
